Cardi B
Up
It is an oft-quoted “fact” that Inuit people have more than 50 words for snow, but Cardi B has 5,000 ways to describe sex, and all of them are horrifically filthy. Up is Cardi’s follow-up to her mega-smut smash WAP, and is basically a list of sex acts and reasons you’d want to shag her, rapped over a trap beat, with Cardi insisting “if it’s up then it’s stuck”. Should we call an ambulance, hun? That doesn’t sound right.
Finneas
American Cliche
It’s probably really hard to carve out your own musical niche when your sibling and co-writer is superstar goth Billie Eilish but, honestly, Finneas must have given his sister all the good songs, because American Cliche is big-band mum-pop that sounds like Michael Bublé fronting the Strictly house band in an episode of Glee.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Drivers License speeds into a fourth week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.
Continuing its strong performance, the track claims 69,000 chart sales this week, including 8.3 million streams. Drivers License finishes with more than double the chart sales of its closest competition, Nathan Evans’ Wellerman remix ft. 220 Kid and Billen Ted, which climbs one place to Number 2 and claims the most digital downloads of the week.
At Number 3, Fredo’s Money Talks ft. Dave is this week’s highest new entry following the release of his second studio album Money Can t Buy Happiness. This isn’t the pair’s first collaboration – in 2018 they scooped a Number 1 debut with their collaboration Funky Friday in a landmark moment for British rap, as well as a Top 20 hit in 2019 with All I Ever Wanted.

“I try to get out for a run at least once a week, especially now that the gyms are closed. There are a few runs I can do within my 5km, and there’s a café I like to stop at where they do really good food. There are a few routes I like to do in my neighbourhood including the Royal Canal, some on paths, and some cross-country when the ground is dry or frozen.
“I sometimes go with my partner, Matt, but if I’m on my own, I like to listen to music. I have a playlist of tunes for when I’m exercising. It’s an eclectic mix that I update every few weeks. At the moment, for running, it’s Shane Codd, Dua Lipa, The Cranberries, Balkan Beat Box and Dizzee Rascal. For walking, it’s Ed Sheeran, Dermot Kennedy and Coldplay.

COLDPLAY appear to be preparing to release their ninth studio album, called Music Of The Spheres.
I can reveal the group, made up of Chris Martin, Jon Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion, have been working on a new project for months hinting a new album is just around the corner. And official records show they have formally registered the name as a trademark ahead of any new release.
